It does look like it's encroached a bit... We usually have the rope in a fair bit on the Fox Road side of the ground though so we can probably just play on wickets a bit further that way to compensate.

From memory the nets (all two of them!) were just at the end of the William Clarke Stand so yes close to that stand.

Did a Richerd Bates play for Notts from '91-'99? Apparently he coached the England women's cricket team for a few years - inc '05 ashes win. He is coaching NSW women's team at the moment and was interviewed on ABC radio Grandstand prog a few days ago.

The Fox Road stand has been extended by five rows which brings it closer to the pitch and ground level as well. In some ways that's a bit of a shame, I liked that stand being set back a bit and giving you a good wide walkway between the stand and the pitch.

There's some new photos of the floodlights going up and the massive new stand on the Notts site.

It's a bit worrying to hear that David Hussey is (allegedly) signed up to the IPL, having signed a 2 year contract with Notts a little while back. Newell is unsurprisingly trying to get clarification ...

Meanwhile, Read is in the England selectors' bad books for playing in the ICL which didn't cause any contractual problems. It seems to me that the IPL is causing more problems for cricket in other parts of the world than the ICL has done so far. Or am I missing the point?
